		Sir George Radda is not your average asylum seeker.
		George Radda was a 20 year old chemistry student in Budapest in 1956 when the Hungarian uprising ended in brutal Soviet reprisals.
		George stumbled on a group of Oxford academics who were in Vienna seeking promising students among the Hungarian refugees.

	Education \| Banking on the future
		Sir George Radda, chief executive of the Medical Research Council since 1996, is not convinced by a Chinese scientist's claim last week to have cloned a human embryo.
		Sir George says the MRC has been able to attract 10 prominent scientists in the past year, including the stem cell specialist Professor Roger Pederson, whose move from California to Cambridge came as a surprise to many.
		Sir George admits this will be expensive, but, he says with a glint in his eye, it will make the UK the "envy of the world".

		Radda led a team of six international experts (1) that worked on a critical evaluation of the concept of "Systems Biology Switzerland", a feasibility study from scientists from ETH, the University of Zurich and the University of Basle (2).
		According to Radda, if the existing biomedical, clinical and industrial expertise in Basle and Zurich can be brought together quickly to form a new institution for systems biology it would open up "exciting possibilities".
		The team of experts supports the intended corner stones of the institute, one of which foresees that ETH Zurich be responsible for the management with the universities of Basle and Zurich as close co-operation partners.

		China will be a major force in science within 10 years, according to Sir George Radda, chief executive of the Medical Research Council.
		Sir George's comments follow this morning's claims that a Chinese scientist cloned a human embryo for therapeutic purposes in 1999, something not yet achieved in the UK.
		Sir George visited China in November to look at the country's science facilities and meet its research groups.

		With Dr Georges Kohler, he found a way to make any required antibody in pure form, in the test tube.
		Although these monoclonal antibodies, as they are termed, have not quite lived up to the hype that once dubbed them "magic bullets", they have nonetheless found wide usage in medicine - from treating cancer and transplant rejection to diagnosing Aids and pregnancy.
		The chief executive of the MRC, Professor Sir George Radda, led the tributes to Dr Milstein.

		He talks of his wish to remain actively involved in research, and a move to the Biochemistry Department at Oxford, where he was given laboratory space by Professor Rodney Porter to work on the application of NMR to biochemical materials.
		Sir Rex speaks of SRC support for the Group, which financed a number of postdoctoral fellowships, an enzyme preparation laboratory, and a high-resolution 270 megahertz NMR spectrometer for studying proteins, developed in collaboration with Oxford Instruments Ltd and Bruker Physik of Germany.
		He then proceeds to discuss the work of George Radda and Steve Busby on phosphorus resonances in muscle extracts, which was the foundation of clinical magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

	Education \| Anger at proposed NIMR move
		Today, as Professor Colin Blakemore, of Oxford University, was named chief executive of the MRC in succession to Sir George Radda, scientists at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), in north London, were in revolt about plans to downsize it and move the work to Cambridge.
		They say the move is being rushed through and will permanently damage their work, and they claim the institute is being made a scapegoat for the failures of the MRC, which was strongly criticised by the House of Commons science and technology committee.
		All 18 heads of department walked out of a recent meeting with chairman Sir Anthony Cleaver and Sir George Radda.

		It's a controversial subject, but, argues George Radda, the best way to navigate this medical minefield is to ensure public debate on future legislation
		IF scientists can work out how to control the growth of stem cells, the primitive cells that turn into different kinds of tissue, they could in future engineer replacement tissue that, once implanted, would help the body to heal itself.
		By establishing a regulated and flexible legislative environment and by encouraging public debate and participationÊinÊpolicyÊdevelopment, the UK has sent a powerful message to the rest of the world about the key role it intends to play in supporting scientific discovery andÊimprovingÊhumanÊhealth through stem cell research.

		Leather said that requiring researchers to donate stem cells to the bank will "ensure that the public benefit[s]" from the research and will "maintain public confidence" in the studies,
		George Radda, CEO of the United Kingdom's Medical Research Council, added that the new regulations would apply only to embryonic stem cell research and not to studies performed on stem cells derived from adults or fetal tissue.
		The HFEA plans to publish on its Web site details about the research that has been licensed, although Leather noted that the agency will protect researchers' confidentiality.

		Chief Executives Dr Gordon Marshall, of the ESRC and Professor Sir George Radda, from the MRC, emphasised the important and timely nature of the Programme within both of their respective Research Councils' remit.
		He stressed in particular the deepening anxieties to be found in the lay public, yet this combined with soaring expectations about IHTs.
		He suggested that we are good at cost-benefit analyses of new technologies, but poor at carrying out social analyses of these, a point which Sir George Radda of the MRC had also made earlier in the day.

		It is over thirty years since Professor Sir George Radda developed magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy in the Department of Biochemisty at the University of Oxford for the in vivo study of bioenergetics.
		Since then MR imaging and spectroscopy have become powerful, non-invasive tools for investigating the functional and biochemical basis of human heart disease.
		By understanding the disease process and the mechanisms that lead to cardiac contractile dysfunction, we hope to provide a rational basis for prevention or therapeutic intervention.

		If the Republicans must depend on the electorate to grow whiter in a nation that is growing less white, they are building their house from straw.
		And depend they must, as a look at the voting preferences of fls and Latinos this November shows that outside of New York, where Republican Gov. George Pataki (running on a close-to-Democratic platform) appeared to pull down close to 40 percent of the Latino vote, Latinos and fls voted Democratic by their usual margins.
